' The invention relates to a stove door having'a hinged connection, and the object ofthe invention is to provide a stove door iii-which the hinges are concealed, and this especially in a construction where the door and-its Gasing each present a smooth outer facing lying substantially in the same plane.

A further object of the'invention 1s to provide a hinged connection presenting rela .tively large wearresisting bearing surfaces for-preventing sagging of the door especially when'th'e door is-anupright'one; aihinged connection that willpermit of an easy application or removal of the door, and a hinged connection, also, which 18 formed by an assemblage ofcast metal plates comprising the door fitted with hinge members, and other plates including the door casing and a frame co-operating therewith to assist in the housing and retention of the hinge members on the door as will afterward be explained.

The hinged connection is one applicable to any type of stove door having ahinged connection. either a drop door or an upright door. For purposes of illustration'anupright door is shown of a type employed for controlling the entrance to the body of a stove having a grate and ash chamber beneath it, although this embodiment of the invention is purely illustrative.

The invention can best be seen and understood by reference to the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevationof the door and its casing with the door occupying a closed position. i Y

Fig. 2 is a rear or inside elevation of the door together with the frame'backing the door casing.

portion of the door with hinge member is shown co-operatingwith a portion of the door casing shown in inside edge elevation.

As before explained the doorshown'is of a type suitable for con-.- trolling the entrance to the body ofa stove havin agrate and ash chamber beneath it, on which ac'count'the door is provided" with] openings 3 in it controlled by a slide 4 and:

6 represents'the door C2LS1I1g.,

from the inner edge of the casing and out} 'wardly disposed with relation'to the fian'ge' 2i on the door, is a flange 7. Borneby this flange is an inturned edging 8 framingthe e5" opening 9 forming the doorway, and against this edging the flanged edge 2 of the door is adapted to bear when the door is closed. The' relative depth of the flanges 2 and 7 on the door and casing, respectively, are preferably such that when-thedoor is closed,bearing 1 against the edging 8 as aforesaid, the' outer" face ofthedo or willlie substantially flush with the outer-face of the casing.

"Backing the door'casing 6 is a framelO.

This franie may form a part of the body off the stove on which the'dooi' hung in which case the casing and door are secured to theff frame, or the door casingmay form a part of the-body of the stove and thefraine 1Q;be fixed tothe casing. In so far as the present construction is concerned the frame finay f I be c'onsidered abacking preferablyhaving the same gen'eral'form as the door casing, and wi'ththe doorway 9 extending through it; The casing 6 and the frame 10 are rigidly'fas tenedjt'ogether by means of fastenings 11 ex tending through the depressed edging'8of the door "casing and through the body of the against which the casing has bearing.

There is-thus combined. the door, the door casing and, also, a frame'backing the casing and fixed to it, and the manner in which the; door caslng and frame co operate to assist in the hingedsupportof the door will now, be,

explained.

Projecting with outstanding lateral j ex 7 5 tension fromone side edge of the door (being A combined before vthe its hinged edge) with extension through slots 14 in the edging 8 of the door casing and thence outwardly beneath the adjacent portion of the door casing are hinge members 15. These members are semicircular in form, and are so-far depressed with relation to the body of the door that they will at all times lie concealed beneath the door casing. The hinge 2 members are also slightly widened at their outer'ends byan outstanding lip 16, for-a purposelpresently to be explained. Y

The hinge members 15 lie socketed to turn, as the door is opened and closed, within rounded sockets 17 formed within, the.

,whichsthe members arecurved turn as the door isopened andgclosedl The bearings 18 aresubstantially equal to thewidth of the body of thehinge members so that when the dooris fully opened the outstanding lips 16 of the hinge members will be brought to bear against the flanged edge of thecasing acting asa stop to prevent further'openingof-the door and withdrawallof the hinge members from the sockets in which they are contained.

Inasmuch as the curved hinged members lieinterposed between thecasi ng, and frame it is accordingly necessary when the parts are assembled that the door and its casing be first I door casing and frame are fastened together.

The door is opened and closed by an outside handle. 20, and is held in a closed position by a hasp 21 inside thedoor, hen the 1 ent of, the: United States door is closed this haspmay be turned toengagea keeper 22 on thefrrame 10 and the locking position of the hasp is defined by a stop 23 on the door. The hasp is arranged upona pin 24 extending through the door 'and is turned by the handle2O.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat- 1. A stove door assembly comprising a door, a door casing, a frame; backing, the casing and fixed thereto, said frame {having socketswithin it, curved hinge members on the door vextending beneath the cas ng and retained "to turn within ,said'; sockets; in the framaand hearings on the casingretaining the hinge members to turn within saidsock-. ,ets and 1 around Which-bearings the hinge members turn.

2. A stove door assembly comprising a door, a door casing having a flanged edge against which the door closes, said edge having slots in it, a frame backing the casing and fixed thereto said frame having sockets withinit, curved hinge members on the door extending through the slots in the casing and thence outwardly beneath said casing whereby they may be retained to turn within said socketsin the frame, 'andbearings on the-casing retaining the hinge members to turn within said sockets and around which bearings the hinge members turn.

stove door assembly comprising a door, a door casing having a flanged edge against whichthe door closes, saidedge having slots innit, a framebacking the casing and fixed thereto, said frame having sockets within it, curved hinge members on the door extending through said slots in the casing and thence outwardly beneath the casing whereby they may be retained to turn within said sockets in the frame, said hinge members being w dened at their outer ends each by a projecting lip, and bearings on the cas-' mg retaining hinge members to turn within'said sockets in the frame, and around which hearings the hinge members turn, said bearings being arranged also whereby the lips on the hingemembers will engage the casing forming a stop when thefdoor has been turned to a full open position.
